[] []= []= // __Tomb Art__// Most of the art of the ancient Egyptians was made for temples or tombs. The statues and paintings or relief in the temples illustrate Egyptian beliefs about relationships between gods, pharaohs, and men. The art of the tombs served another  purpose. It was to help the deceased during their journey throughDuat (the Underworld) to the Field of Reeds – the afterlife. With the correct ceremonies, pictures and sculptures could come alive to provide the deceased with all that might be desired in eternity. Life was short, but the tomb provided art for the entire afterlife, a much longer than actual life. (Tombs were so important the ancient Egyptian word for tomb and the word for house were same) Pictures of family pet were often included in tomb art to keep the person company. Tomb paintings were usually colored in vivid shades of blue, green, yellow, and red. __// Tomb Statues  //__ Some statues placed in tombs had a religious purpose. Some statues placed in tombs were purely for convenience. A shabti was statues of a servant who would magically come to life to work for the deceased whenever called. // __Report about Tomb Art__ // // I read a story book about Egyptians Art and I looked for Tomb Art and I discovered something surprising about ancient Egyptian. Egyptian belief of gods was existing and they had relationships with gods, pharaoh, and human. The tomb was very important to them, and they carved on the tomb’s side. They provided drinks, food and they entertain deceased tomb. Usually, they were painting with shades of blue, green, yellow, and red color. I thought Egyptian’s culture was special because there is no other culture like it. //
